Other / Unclassified Organisation: setup and training guide
On this page
This page is the part of the onboarding kit that is specific to a Other / Unclassified Organisation. It lists what the app will set up for you, who in your team normally does each piece, and what you need to have ready. How to use the app is in the shared guides, which are the same for every organisation:
- Start here: what happens in your first 14 days
- How EarthReheal works: rules, jobs, evidence, approvals and reports in one page
- Role guides: Manager · Supervisor · Worker
The lists below come from the same rule set the app uses, so they match what you will see. What actually applies to your site depends on your answers during setup: a rule marked "depends on your site" is only switched on if you have, for example, a borewell or a kitchen.
1. At a glance
| What | How many (maximum) |
|---|---|
| Rules that apply to every Other | 2 |
| Rules that depend on what is on your site | 8 |
| Good-practice rules (recommended) | 0 |
| One-time setup items (photos, documents, certificates) | 18 |
| Recurring jobs (daily to yearly) | 19 |
| Things you log when they happen | 4 |
| Licence renewals tracked | 3 |
| Statutory filings | 2 |
Most sites end up with fewer than the maximum, because the setup questions switch off what does not apply.
2. Who you need on the app
Each row is a job in your organisation, not necessarily a separate person. In a small site one person often holds several rows: the manager is usually also the compliance officer. Every person signs in with their own account, so the record shows who did what.
| Role | App access | What they look after | Needed? | Items they own |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manager | Manager | Site/Facility Manager | Yes | 7 |
| Compliance officer | Manager | Regulatory liaison | Yes | 14 |
| Operations supervisor | Supervisor | Facility operations, waste weighment | Yes | 15 |
| Housekeeping / floor staff | Worker | Housekeeping / waste handling | Yes | 10 |
App access decides what a person sees. Manager: the web portal and the phone app, with setup, approvals, reports and filings. Supervisor: the phone app, with their team's jobs and approvals. Worker: the phone app, with their own jobs only.
3. Before setup: have these ready
Questions the setup will ask about your site
Setup takes about 30 to 45 minutes if you have these answers to hand. "Not sure" is fine for anything you can find out later; you can change answers afterwards.
Numbers
- Number of diesel generators on site
- Diesel/fuel storage capacity on site
Yes or no
- Bulk Waste Generator (meets waste-quantity threshold requiring registration)?
- Borewell / groundwater extraction on premises?
- Electrical/electronic equipment on premises?
- UPS/inverter batteries on premises?
- Active renovation on site?
- Rainwater harvesting on site?
- Employs 10 or more people (incl. contract/interns)?
Documents and licences to gather
Collect what you already have as PDFs or clear phone photos. Anything you do not have yet stays on your list as a gap; it does not block setup.
| Document | Needed |
|---|---|
| ☐ CPCB BWG registration | Always |
| ☐ CGWA NOC or exemption certificate | If CGWA Groundwater Rules applies |
| ☐ PESO petroleum storage license | If Diesel Storage Licence (PESO) applies |

| ☐ ULB approval/intimation for large C&D projects | If Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste applies |
| ☐ Rainwater harvesting system installation certificate (each rainwater pit) | If CGWA Groundwater Rules applies |
| ☐ Diesel generator (DG) exhaust stack height compliance certificate (each DG set) | If Air Act 1981 applies |

| ☐ EBWGR certificates (dry, sanitary and special-care waste; wet waste if not processed on site) | Always |
| ☐ POSH Internal Complaints Committee constitution (incl. external member) | If POSH Internal Complaints Committee applies |
4. Setup evidence: your first-weeks checklist
Setup evidence is the one-time proof of what is on your site: a photo of each bin, the STP nameplate, a copy of each licence. After setup each item appears as a job under Setup Evidence. Photo items for equipment start with a scan of that item's QR sticker, so stick the stickers on first (see Setup evidence and QR stickers).

5. Your recurring jobs
These are created automatically once setup is done and come back on their own schedule. Each shows on the phone of the person it is assigned to. The "Usually done by" column is the default; the manager can reassign any job (see Manager guide).

| POSH annual report to District Officer | Compliance officer | Document | If POSH Internal Complaints Committee applies |
6. Things you log when they happen
These have no fixed date. Log them in the app on the day they happen, so the record is made at the time and not rebuilt later.
| What | When | Usually logged by | Needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-waste handover receipt from registered producer/refurbisher/recycler | Each time it happens | Operations supervisor | If E-Waste Management Rules 2022 applies |
| Spent battery handover receipt / take-back confirmation | Each time it happens | Operations supervisor | If Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 applies |
| DG run log entry (per operation) (each DG set) | Each time it happens | Housekeeping / floor staff | If Air Act 1981 applies |
| C&D waste dispatch to authorized processor receipt | Each time it happens | Operations supervisor | If Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste applies |
7. Licence renewals
Enter the expiry date of each licence when you upload it. The app then creates the renewal job ahead of the expiry, so nobody has to remember the date.
| Renewal | Owner | Needed |
|---|---|---|
| CGWA NOC renewal task | Compliance officer | If CGWA Groundwater Rules applies |
| PESO licence renewal task | Compliance officer | If Diesel Storage Licence (PESO) applies |
| SPCB DG set CTO renewal task | Compliance officer | If Air Act 1981 applies |
8. Your filing calendar
Filings are statutory returns you submit to a regulator. The app reminds the owner ahead of each due date and collects the figures from the jobs your team has done through the year, so the return is built from real records.
| Filing | Due | Where | Rule | Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SWM Annual Return | 30 June every year | – | SWM Rules 2026 | Always |
| CGWA Groundwater Abstraction & Compliance Data Submission | 10th of every month | CGWA Bhu-Neer portal (cgwa-bhuneer.mowr.gov.in) | CGWA Groundwater Rules | If the rule applies |
9. The rules behind all this
Applies to every site of this type
| Rule | What it asks of you |
|---|---|
| Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016 (as amended) | |
| SWM Rules 2026 |
Depends on what is on your site
| Rule | What it asks of you |
|---|---|
| CGWA Groundwater Rules | |
| E-Waste Management Rules 2022 | |
| Battery Waste Management Rules 2022 | |
| Air Act 1981 | |
| Noise Pollution Rules 2000 | |
| Diesel Storage Licence (PESO) | Storing more than 2,500L of diesel for DG backup requires a PESO storage licence and periodic tank safety certification. |
| Construction & Demolition (C&D) Waste | Any renovation or demolition work must segregate C&D waste per the local authority's plan; projects over 20,000 sq.m also need EPR portal registration. |
| POSH Internal Complaints Committee | Any workplace with 10 or more employees must proactively constitute an Internal Complaints Committee, including an external member, at every branch or office location — waiting until a complaint arises is itself a violation. |
Recommended good practice
None for this organisation type.
This guide explains how the app helps you keep records. It is not legal advice; your regulator's notification is the final word.
